Foreword

The topic of recreating oneself is close to my heart. At 21, I worked as a laborer at a construction site. In the middle of a cold winter, I had to get up at five in the morning, take a bus to work with two transfers, and carry construction materials from place to place all day. One day I had an insight that changed my life: I realized that I myself am responsible for everything that happens to me.

I was sitting in my small one-room apartment - and suddenly I was struck like a thunderbolt. Just think: all the responsibility lies with me! From this very day, everything I want to achieve depends only on me and no one else. Nobody will do anything for me.

At that moment, I made the decision for the first time to leave the past behind and re-create myself. I looked into the future as far as possible and asked myself what I really want from life? Of course, the most ordinary things were the object of my desires: a well-paid job that would bring me pleasure, happy relationships, good health and ultimately financial independence.

I remember going to the bookstore during my lunch break and buying some books that I thought might help me. I started with business books, then moved on to books on psychology, philosophy, economics, and success. Since I was not yet married at that time, I had enough free time, and at night I read a lot, noting interesting moments in books.

The more I learned, the faster my self-confidence grew. I started writing letters to various companies asking them to take me to one of the office positions. For a long time I did not receive a response, but in the end I was accepted into the direct sales department. This was the start of my career.

Over the following years, I made a new person out of myself, working in different positions and different industries, moving up the career ladder from a simple salesman to a sales manager. I then became vice president of an international company where my responsibilities included organizing sales in six countries. Subsequently, I got a real estate license and after reading many books on the subject, I became a real estate developer. I have found financial partners and over the years in this field have built properties worth over 100 million dollars.

Subsequently, I started life anew as an importer and distributor, setting up 65 dealerships (with a turnover of tens of millions of dollars) that imported a whole line of Japanese cars.

At every stage of re-creating myself, making the decision to take the next step in my life or start a new career, I started from scratch. After that, I studied books on a topic that interested me, talked to people, asked them questions in order to study as deeply as possible a new line of business for me, and began to work.

As experience accumulated, I realized that creating yourself anew is not a long process that flows linearly, sequentially. On this path, obstacles, difficulties and even temporary setbacks cannot be avoided. Here, what at first glance seems to be the right course, in fact, can turn out to be a dead end, and there is always something unexpected that leads in the other direction. I learned that continuous movement forward allows you to create yourself anew, to become a new person. Decide what you want to achieve and take action. Try again, again and again. Never give up and always keep moving forward.

After reading this book, you will learn the most effective ways of thinking that will save you months and even years of life in the process of reinventing yourself and becoming the person you always wanted to be.

Introduction

The world in times of change

Wherever we are, it is nothing more than a stage on the way somewhere, and whatever we do, no matter how well we do it, is just a preparation for something else.

Robert Louis Stevenson, Scottish writer and poet

A wonderful life is ahead of you!

To all of us, the future may seem uncertain, but to those who read this book, I can assure you of one thing: the coming years will be the best of your life. Everything you have accomplished so far is but a shadow of what you will accomplish in the exciting months and years ahead of you. You must realize and take comfort in the fact that whatever changes are happening in your life right now, it is all part of a larger plan that will help you move forward towards your potential.

As a professor at Princeton University, Albert Einstein had just taken an exam from a group of physics majors. On the way to the office, the assistant who helped him in conducting the exams asked:

“Professor, didn’t you give the same exam in this group last year?”

Einstein replied:

- Yes, that's the one.

The assistant, in awe of the greatest physicist of the 20th century, asked again:

“Forgive my curiosity, professor, but why are you taking the same exam with the same group two years in a row?”

Einstein replied simply:

Because the answers to the questions have changed.

At that time, many major discoveries were made in the world of physics, scientific knowledge changed so quickly that it was possible to take one exam two years in a row and get new answers to exam questions.

But what does this have to do with me, you think. Today, the answers to the questions that arise in your life are also changing very quickly. If someone asked you, "What was your biggest challenge or goal a year ago?" chances are you wouldn't even know what to say. Since then, the situation has completely changed.

Once, researchers at Harvard University made three predictions about the future. First, they said, coming year will happen more change than in any other year before. Secondly, next year the competition will become tougher than before. And thirdly, in any field of activity there will be more opportunities, no matter what you do. However, these opportunities will be different from those that exist now.

These predictions were made in 1952. They remain as valid today as they were then. So the answers have changed again.

Here's another prediction for you: over the next two years, 72 percent of employees will be in their own or other companies in other positions with different responsibilities, requiring different abilities and skills to produce different results. At the same time, people who will not be able to adequately respond to the changes taking place in the world will suffer the most.

Since modern society is rapidly changing, in the life of each of us, at least in one of its areas, changes are constantly taking place. And it is inevitable, inevitable and unavoidable. Understanding how to effectively deal with them is the main condition for success in the most exciting period of human history.

Transfer to another job

Perhaps the most common change occurs in professional life, such as losing a job or moving to another place. Due to the dynamic nature of the US economy, about 20 million jobs are lost or restructured each year. But fortunately, 22 million new jobs are created every year. No matter how many hundreds of thousands of new workers enter the labor market, the economy invariably creates favorable opportunities for them. According to the US Department of Labor, in our country there are now 100 thousand types and many different subtypes of employment.

Quotes from the book "Renewal. Step by Step Plan for Personal Development Brian Tracy

Tune in today to take decisive action if the need arises. Pick up the pace! Get down to business! Work! The faster you act, the more energy you have and the better you feel and get more done. The faster you act, the more you learn and the more experience you gain, which means you get paid more and get promoted faster.

The secret to maintaining balance in life is simple. Make peace of mind, happiness and family life your main goals and subordinate everything else to their achievement.

Remember: you are unique. You are made for success; a wonderful career awaits you in the coming months and years. Finding the kind of job you want is both a science and an art. This skill can be mastered and developed by rereading this chapter over and over again and acting on the knowledge gained. There is no limit to what you can achieve in life; you are only held back by the barriers that you erect in front of yourself.

The extent to which you are able to foresee the likely consequences of your actions or inaction depends on your intellectual abilities. Will you spend time and energy on what entails the most significant consequences.

We are sent into this world to do something beautiful - something that no one but us can do.

Practice clean slate thinking in all areas of your life. Constantly reflect on whether you are doing something that you would not do if you had your current experience and knowledge, if you had to start all over again.

What new skills or abilities would you like to develop? If you could start your life over again, how would it be different from your current life?

If your job, business, industry or profession suddenly became redundant or even illegal and you had to start all over again, what would you prefer to do?

If your company went bankrupt and you had to start building a business from scratch in a new location, what would you start doing immediately and what would you not do at all?

A collection of tips for changing your life from the famous speaker who popularized eating "frogs" for breakfast, Brian Tracy.

  • Nothing is eternal under the Moon. What was in demand yesterday, tomorrow may sink into oblivion.
  • The pace of change is only accelerating.

Thinking strategies in the 21st century:

  1. Reanalysis. Sometimes you need to stop and rethink your life. Make adjustments, change something cardinally and move forward. Do your analysis during your break. Lay out all the information received on the shelves. Face the truth.
  2. Rethinking and modernization. Re-inventory in installed templates. Do not be afraid to abandon the usual, but already ineffective actions and ideas.
  3. Update. Update your activity according to the new data. Be prepared for drastic changes if necessary.
  4. Time restructuring. Spend time on the most important tasks.
  5. Take control of your emotions in any situation. Give your neocortex resources.

Success lets us know that we are capable of achieving it. It changes our view of the world, and we achieve even greater success.

3 enemies:

  1. Comfort zone
  2. Fear
  3. Taking the path of least resistance

The main success skill is written planning, a clear indication of goals and plans. People who plan achieve 10 times more success in all areas.

Love yourself! The more you love yourself, the more confident and able you are to take risks.

Goal setting:

  1. Formulate a goal
  2. Write down the goal
  3. Determine the steps
  4. Define actions to achieve
  5. Set the date
  6. Implement the plan
  7. Move towards your goal every day


Constantly adapt to the situation: sharpen skills, talents and skills for a specific case.

Do preliminary research: carefully prepare for everything, go to the interview with a thick pile of papers about this company, show your awareness

Sow seeds everywhere: through acquaintances and colleagues, through friends and relatives, through all possible sites of the corresponding orientation, search and find!

Develop a network of acquaintances: whoever you are inside and out - you can't do without friends, colleagues and acquaintances


5 most sought after features:

  1. Intelligence
  2. Ability to be a leader
  3. Honesty
  4. The ability to win people over
  5. Competence


How to behave in an interview:

  1. Be punctual
  2. dress well
  3. Relax
  4. Calmness and composure, self-confidence
  5. Shake your hand firmly
  6. Ask questions to the interviewer, show your interest in the company
  7. Act like a winner
  8. Give employers what they want
  9. Take the bull by the horns: come to the company as a client in advance, interview the employer
  10. Do not immediately accept job offers, write a thank you letter after the interview
  11. If you are accepted, quickly do not settle for this salary. Ask for 24 hours, beat yourself up
  12. Enter salary fork: desired +- 20%
  13. Discuss the conditions for a salary increase


Remember that you are always working for yourself and you are responsible for everything.

Qualities of the best leaders:

  1. Honesty
  2. Ability to clearly formulate instructions
  3. Attention and care

Always be positive and optimistic.

Clothing is the key to a good first impression. Do not skimp on good clothes, but do not buy a lot of them. Convert quantity to quality.

People with a thick beard are treated with distrust - according to research, people subconsciously think that bearded people are hiding something
